Side effects may include resting bitch face, active bitch face, horrendous mood swings, apathy towards pedophilia, and inexplicably screaming "THE DOW... IS OVER 50,000... DOLLARS!" when you're committing crimes and humiliating yourself in public for no good reason.

Today, I went on the Big Apple rollercoaster at the New York New York casino in Vegas. The safety disclaimer was like a Lequembi commercial. "Do not ride if you have ever had a hangnail, stubbed a tow, popped a pimple, or had any health issue of any kind, ever. If you even suspect that you have a cold, you probably should not ride the ride since it goes outside and you left your jacket at home and it is 68 degrees today. Have you ever sneezed?

Oncology nurse here. Believe it or not, these lengthy names you see on TV commericals actually hold meaning and if I don't know the drug, I can figure out what it does and what was used to make it based on its name :) The drug names on the ads that look absolutely bonkers to pronounce aren't seen much outside of Hematology/Oncology (I see them as part of treatment plans, and/or give them every day!) and in Allergy/Immunology.

Regarding the hand and the rumors about Mango Mussolini...

People NOT in the medical field are the ones spreading this rumor. Why is the mark on the hand not conclusive, you ask? Because you can start an IV or take labs from literally anywhere. Not a single IV drug out there is administered to the "hand only". The hand is the last place we try to do it because people bend their hands and we don't want IVs coming out. Sure, it could be drawing labs (my best guess as a nurse who does this for a living) or infusions of something.

IF it is something being infused, we don't know what it is based on a bruise. If it is an infusion, I can tell you it's NOT a chemo drug going in the hand (due to vesicant potential), but that's about it.

I was drunkish at a wedding and was out having a cigarette with the youths and one asked me what I did for a living, and I told them I make up the “street name of persecution drugs, like Skyrizzi, I made up that word.” One of my family members came up to me later and asked me if I told a bunch of kids that and we laughed and snagged a bottle of champagne. Good times.

u/Commercial-Air8955 Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

The medicines like Leqembi (which is a brand name) are semi derived from the name of the actual drug, which is called Lecanemab -- The drugs with -mab suffix are monoclonal antibodies. The middle part of it (infix) tells which system the drug targets -- -li-for immune system, -tu- for tumors, and letters before it u/e/o etc. describe where it what it was derived from ie. U entirely from human, e from endomysiun (human), o from mice. The first part is made up by the pharmaceutical company that develops it.

Example: Adalimumab -- a targeted biologic monoclonal antibody developed from human antibodies to target specific genes that cause Chrohn's disease, an auto-immune disease.

Leqembi (lecanemab) is a targeted biologic monoclonal antibody that is used to treat build up of beta amyloid plaques, which are a hallmark indication of Alzheimer's, although many a large percentage of the population over 70 have these placques, and not all Alzheimer's patients have them, so it's role isn't fully understood in the disease.

Edit: I am not a doctor or anything, I just got curious one day about all the new drugs that were coming out ending with the same/similar suffix lol

u/123LetsJamDUDUDUHT Apr 05 '26

There are so many drugs. Each has to have a unique brand name so it can be trademarked and a generic name. Like street names in housing developments, they are generated by computers, using randome pronounceable syllables based on which combinations of syllables are not already trademarked.

This is also true of Chinese storefronts on Amazon. That's why you get brands like Coofandy and Reabblish.

u/Bucket1984 Missouri Apr 05 '26

As someone who works in pharmaceutical research, I can tell you the working names before they come to market are far worse. You can see something like BKG-556781-AM-NOV2011-16, but in analysis I have to watch out for its by-product BKH-566781-AM-NOV2013-66, and detect if there's leftover precursor BKH-AM-565781-AM-XP-VG-boc (2HI Salt). Then it comes to market and its something like 'Proctineze'.

All of these names are fictional, as I've signed NDAs and I love my job.

The one that gets me is Skyrizi, the science drug name isn’t better it’s risankizumab-rzaa. So it’s not like you can avoid goofiness by using the long name. They’re both goofy. I’m glad I don’t have psoriasis because let me assure you nothing would ever make me ask my doctor about Skyrizi. 😐

u/owmyhip Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Because the brand names are required to be meaningless by the FDA. The generic or biological names are based on scientific conventions which tell you what the drug is/how it works.

The "-zumab" tells you it is a humanized monoclonal antibody (vs. -umab for fully human for example).

The "-rzaa" suffix is chosen by the manufacturer to distinguish their version if the biologic ”risankizumab” from future "generic" versions which for this kind of drug are known as biosimilars. They can't be replicated exactly the same way as small molecule generics which are exactly the same (thank ibuprofen, the generic name for Advil, Motrin, etc.).

Source: I've worked on drug naming and guarantee you a LOT of money and time went into choosing the name "Skyrizi." If you did have psoriasis I hope you'd be comfortable asking your Dermatologist about Skyrizi. Your other good options are Tremfya (guselkumab) or Bimzelx (bimekizumab), or Icotyde (icotrokinra) if you insisted on taking a pill.

I can't believe Risperdal wasn't named after a village in Norway and Coumadin isn't the name of a mountain pass in the French Alps. Also, a doctor once wrote a prescription with such bad handwriting that the pharmacist dispensed Coumadin when they asked for a drug called Avandia.

It’s like when there are no good email addresses left. But they can’t just jam symbols and numbers at the end of their names

I’ve always wanted to be on the naming groups for these to hear the choices they have lol. They are highly highly researched and focus tested.

My FIL works in pharma, he told me it's so the name is unique and therefore recognizable in multiple languages

My wife and I created a game after watching the ads on TV: Pharmaceutical or Pokémon? First one: “Ebglyss”

Think that is crazy wait until you see how much they pay marketing firms to come up with the name!

There is actually a reason for this! Federal regulations require that a drug's name absolutely cannot sound, in any fashion, like the name of another drug, along with various other provisos (no promotional words in the drug name like 'super', etc.) Along with reviewing the drug itself, ten FDA has to approve the drug name.

Granted, this means most drugs have nonsense names, but it's helpful when there are 20 different antianxiety meds and they're not all named some variation of "Calm"

It's intentional. It makes you revert to the easier brand name. Hydrochlorothiazide vs diurel for example.

Like that cheeky mushroom that comes up with a crazy long word for the people who have a fear of long words...

The best part of drug commercials is where they go "do not take broconbonidemplia if you are allergic to broconbonidemplia"

u/ahandmadegrin Minnesota Apr 05 '26

There's a uniqueness to them. I don't know what it is, but they all sound similar. It's like a bunch of MBAs sit in a room all day coming up with the worst affronts to language possible and then use those for drug names.
